Abstract:

Prognosis of neurological outcome after cardiac arrest, post hypothermia has been an ever developing issue. Absence of EEG reactivity has been one of the indicators that have been suggested to be promising in such a scenario. We present a case of a patient who underwent hypothermia post-cardiac arrest and had absent EEG reactivity even 3 weeks after cardiac arrest, but had good neurological outcome at discharge.
